Product Description:
Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
"A tremendous achievement in American playwriting: a tragicomic populist portrait of a tough land and a tougher people."-Time Out New York
"Tracy Letts' August: Osage County is what O'Neill would be writing in 2007. Letts has recaptured the nobility of American drama's mid-century heyday while still creating something entirely original."-New York magazine
One of the most bracing and critically acclaimed plays in recent Broadway history, August: Osage County is a portrait of the dysfunctional American family at its finest-and absolute worst. When the patriarch of the Weston clan disappears one hot summer night, the family reunites at the Oklahoma homestead, where long-held secrets are unflinchingly and uproariously revealed. The three-act, three-and-a-half-hour mammoth of a play combines epic tragedy with black comedy, dramatizing three generations of unfulfilled dreams and leaving not one of its thirteen characters unscathed. After its sold-out Chicago premiere, the play has electrified audiences in New York since its opening in November 2007.
Tracy Letts is the author of Killer Joe, Bug, and Man from Nebraska, which was a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. His plays have been performed throughout the country and internationally. A performer as well as a playwright, Letts is a member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, where August: Osage County premiered.

- AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY by Tracy Letts
August: Osage County is Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning play, which debuted in 2007. It is typically billed as a dark comedy or tragicomedy. It deals with the reunion of a family in rural Oklahoma after the death of its patriarch. During this time, skeletons come out of closets, and drama ensues.
The play features 13 characters, and most of them get a substantial amount of attention from the author. Balancing all these characters is something Letts does particularly well, and this ... Read More
Rating:
- A must-read for literature and theatre lovers alike...
By far one of the best plays I've read in a long time, maybe even since my love affair with 'Angels in America.' Bitingly funny and horribly tragic, I've yet to find one disappointed fellow reader of Letts' masterpiece.
Rating: - A Classic For Decades To Come!
I saw this play in previews here in NYC and told a friend: This play is going to win the Pulitzer, the Tony, everything. And I was right. The play shocked me on a personal level because so much of what he wrote about this family was MY family. Three girls. Mother who had problems. Absent father emotionally. I was fortunate to see Letts father in the lead role before he passed away a few months later. I don't know how many times I have said over the past 40 years, "If we knew the future, we wouldn't ...

Rating: - Fantastic Play
I had the opportunity to actually see this play in Chicago. What a fantastic play. Well written, well acted and will be a classic. It has received something like 7 Toni awards on Broadway this year. As one would expect after seeing such a great play. Tracy Letts writes so personally and developes his characters so you feel connected to them immediately. August is one of the finest plays written in this century!!!
Rating:
- You Will Care About None of These Characters in This Play
What a disappointing play this was. For all the passion and screaming, other than the father who dies in the first scene, you will not care at all about any of the characters in this play.
Consider what holds you, in the great plays about angst, from O'Neill's to Albee, Clifford Odets, Hellman, Osborne and Ibsen -- even Strindberg and Beckett -- you somehow care about at least one person in the play, or learn something about how they ended up as they did, or learn something from how they attempt ...
